Default Steering Shaft Problem!!!

Hey guys this evening I was doing a lil run in queens(NY), and when I finally decide to go home after about 1 hour of playing in the streets. I feel a pop in my steering and the wheel goes round and round
I just managed to pull her to the corner and she would not turn an inch, at first I thought it was my rack and pinion that I've been planning to change. But when my step father came to help me, we realize that the steering shaft bolt came out. I don't know if they were meant to be torqued on every tune up, but I never did it.
I had to leave her there for the night, and hopefully it's not stolen by morning(crosses fingers)

I was just under the car trying to put the steering shaft back together, and saw that the rack is missing parts. It seems the rack came loose and because of that the steering shaft was dismantled, damn I was lucky I didn't crash.
